Eh, at least you can still take notes very easily and reinstall DE later.

I do this with cold milk or creamer when making hot chocolate. Make a nice paste by continuously mixing it while waiting for the water to boil is plenty good enough and makes it much tastier!

Boy that’s… that’s one way to solve it I guess.

can we go back?

No!

I’d prefer GNU’s ddrescue just because I find it more robust and has better progress output. It’s functionally the same interface but lets you use a mapfile to resume sessions should anything happen to interrupt the copy.

Arguably I’m against this because you never know what’s going to happen and the conventional wisdom for appliances like this is to just backup any important configs, backup your containers and vms, then do a fresh install from the latest install media on the new disk followed by a restore of the backups. It might take a little more time but it’s negligible and allows you an opportunity to review your current configs, make necessary changes, and ensure your backups are working as intended.

Gran Turismo 4
Dirt Rally 2 Forza Horizons 4

And the godking itself, Burnout 4 Revenge and its understudy Burnout 3.

Bonus point to Extreme-G and G2.

I’m also going to mention Generally. It was a tiny game with a small dedicated community but gods damn if it wasn’t just super fun to make maps and play community created events/maps/contests.

According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

Summer: $0.118 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.136 600+ Winter: $0.132 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.144 600+

I averaged the last 3 years for these.

I’ve literally thrown my back out trying to suppress sneezes. I gave up trying years ago, I’m a scream sneezer through and through. Dracula barely helps but at least it’s more sanitary.

I think you mean “they jumped the shark cards”.

It’s not like they care anyways, it’s all just a live service now because they’re raking in the cash. I’ve resigned to probably not being able to play this series again at this point.

I have the same model, powering 3 machines with an average load of ~125w when it switches to battery power. I have a NUT host on one of the servers which will broadcast the outage for the other machines and the whole stack shuts down after 30 seconds and switches off the UPS at the very end. Gone through about 4 or 5 true power events now and double that in testing (overzealous I know) but the UPS is 2.5 years old now and is doing just fine. I have a spare battery because I heard ~3 years is normal but so far no indication it’s reaching replacement yet.

I think the important thing for these is to not run them down to 0. They’re only good for one event at a time and shouldn’t constantly be switching over without basically a full day of recharging again (more like 16h to recharge).

I can see consistent brownouts and events being a problem for these little machines. I’m planning on upgrading to a rack solution soon and relegating this one to my desktop in the other room (with a fresh battery of course).

You either want mastodon which has a higher proportion of thoughts and conversations, or a classic forum which is entirely dedicated to long form thoughts and discussions.
